Super Variants Editor

The Super Variants editor provides a new way to create variants. Though a little harder to use than the standard Variants editor, it provides a huge amount of control over the value range of parameters.

The Super Variants editor uses the Animation Configurator to create not video animations, but fractal variants.

If you are comfortable with the Triangle Editor, you may find this type of variants creation easy to use.

Configure Variants

Open the Configurator to setup the value range of parameters.

Optional Tweak Script

Setup an optional Lua script to post-process the new fractals.

Roll Dice

Create a new batch of variants.

Add Transform

Adds a new transform to the template fractal.

Show Original

Shows the template fractal.

Configure Variants

Click the Configure Variants button opens the animation configurator. Here 3 parameters have value ranges assigned to them. (Not all shown here.)

The Grid View button of the configurator opens this window. The Grid View makes it easier to see the parameter value ranges.

The From/To Editors button shows Keyframe 1, and the From + To fractals. You can use the Triangle Editor to modify these.

After you are finished setting up the parameter value ranges, close the configurator. Then click Roll Dice button to get your variants.
